Happily opening my ABR I noted, happily, your illustrious personage in the front remarks: well done! And a set of books much nicer than cold hard cash any day. (Not sure if you post pertains to this win, but making an assumption, or seeing an opportunity -- so!). Kylie.

Oh thanks, comma-rade. The books arrived in the post on Tueswidge and they're sitting there right now, taunting me as I essay-mark my way out of perdition.

But, actually, the hooray was because my new boyfriend, Barack Obama, won the election, and I am so proud of all the people who stood up when standing up meant risking their lives so that something like this would one day be possible. And it pleases me no end that instead of a warmonger who thinks that taxes are the work of Satan there is a president-elect who acknowledges that, given half the bridges in the country are unsafe, someone better fix 'em.
